8790 Stalling/Suttering Problems???

Howdy folks,

I have an 8790, purchased about 2 months ago. Full setup (2GigRAM; 3.4Ghz etc). I upgraded to Sager's latest drivers (previously grabbed the Omega Drivers but had to uninstall as it was crapping out my DVD/MPEG playback ability... go figure).

Anyhoo... I installed DX9b, everything is "confirmed" and installed Doom 3 and Joint Operations. Both run fine (for Doom, I took the recommended setup), but after about 5 minutes of play, I notice a "stuttering/lagging" of graphics and sound... it's as if the Notebook decided to defrag the HD as I'm playing.
I immediately checked to see if anything was running in the background-sure enough, there wasn't anything. I checked the system processes, nothing.

Any ideas of what I may try? I love gaming on this thing but this stuttering/lag is KILLING me. I even hit the FN + F10 to engage the loud
ass fan thinking it could be a heat issue.. no luck. I later played CounterStrike and Far Cry and had no problems whatsoever.

Help!?!?!?

You may want to do a fresh install of the omega 4.5 drivers. uninstall existing drivers and then load the 4.5 ones from scratch and try that. Do not load any drivers above 4.5 as they have issues with DVD playback as you experienced.

I've seen several posting on similar issues and it seems that is you do a "clean" install of the 4.5 drivers, it corrects the video problems and crashing that others have exprienced. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out the 4.5 drivers.

Ya think it'll fix the stuttering/stalling problems?

Thanks again,

P.
